Restless Legs Syndrome
Study Shows Two Distinct Types of Restless Legs Syndrome Almost Half of Cases Caused by Single Gene According to a recent study, about half the cases of restless legs syndrome are caused by defects in a single gene. The study will appear in an upcoming print issue of Annals of Neurology, and will... view more (2002-05-30)

Study Calls For UK Childhood Screening of Metabolic Disease
Results of a study in this week's issue of The Lancet support the introduction of early screening for the metabolic disease medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency. MCAD deficiency is a metabolic disorder which affects up to 1 in 9000 people in the UK. It can be controlled with... view more (2001-09-26)

Possible to detect causes of autism in over a third of cases
It may be possible to find the causes for autism in over a third of cases, suggests research in the Journal of Medical Genetics. And these are likely to include a range of factors.   view more (2002-03-11)

Fragile X retardation syndrome corrected in mice
Researchers working with mice have significantly alleviated a wide range of abnormalities due to fragile X syndrome by altering only a single gene, countering the effects of the fragile X mutation.   view more (2007-12-20)

Study suggests new way to screen infants for fetal alcohol syndrome
Children who have been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) are more likely to have serious psychiatric and behavioral problems later in life, including a higher risk for dropping out of school, unemployment, and criminal behavior.   view more (2008-03-06)

Ecologists say metabolism accounts for why natural selection favors only some species
Why are some species of plants and animals favored by natural selection? And why does natural selection not favor other species similarly?   view more (2008-11-04)

NEWS The most toxic conflict Recent advances in the research into Gulf war syndrome means that soldiers returning from the latest conflict may be more fortunate than those returning after 1991. But how much are UK soldiers going to benefit from these advances? The UK spends a lot less than the US... view more (2003-07-03)

MRE could provide a definitive diagnosis for people with muscle pain, Mayo Clinic study shows
An estimated nine million men and women in the United States live with myofascial pain syndrome, a condition marked by pain that permeates muscles in the neck, back and shoulders.   view more (2007-11-30)

Vet medicine researcher examines link between cancer, Down syndrome
here's new hope for breast cancer research, and it's coming from a very unlikely place.
